Local bands set to open for Sleep Signals
A trio of local acts are set to open for veteran metal act Sleep Signals on Sunday, Feb. 26, inside Stan’s Room at Piere’s.
Contrøller, Voice of Sylas, and To Breathe Again will take the stage to set the mood.
The Minneapolis quintet Sleep Signals have garnered a dedicated following through relentless touring, explosive live performances, and catchy hooks combined with their high-energy songwriting style.
In early 2021, the band released an EP, Ethereal, which saw the band get their first commercial radio success. Although things were looking up, they experienced a major setback shortly thereafter. While on the road with P.O.D., From Ashes to New, and All Good Things, the band experienced a bus accident in Missouri that left several members in the hospital and rehabbing injuries for months. The bus and the band’s gear were described as a complete loss.
Fast-forward to June, and the band released the music video for “The Return,” commemorating their comeback and readiness for the road.
This is an all-ages show with $10 tickets that can be purchased at etix.com.
